If They Made a Movie of My Life

A song about a girl I knew.

LYRICS:

If they made a movie of my life
Would they include this night with you?
Would it be forgot
And left out of the plot
Would I leave it out too?
You're one of several girls I've known
Who shared bed and then that was it;
But this is a distraction
From the narrative action.
Where would this fit?

In the story they tell of me
Would these details ever be missed?
Our walk together in Koreatown;
You held my hand then, Lara Brown,
And later we kissed.
If they made a movie of my life
Would they bother to keep you about?
Would you get a scene or two?
Who would they even cast as you?
Would you be edited out?

If they made a movie of my life
Would they bother with this little scene?
Life is full of messy facts
And in the middle of three acts
What does it mean?
We're just two minor characters
And our scene's too small for this movie
And what do you think that they would do
If they made a film about you?
Would they include me?

That should be used as one of those lyric challenges. Great line. And great subject for a song.
